G
As the sun is sinking low
C Cm
And the evening's tucked in tow
G Gmaj7 Em D D7
On the horizon, my true love I see
G G7
She ain't fancy, she ain't fine
C Cm
While her fingers number only nine
G Gmaj7 Em D
She's the belle of the ball of the insurgency
G Em
She's my bandit queen laying beneath the moon
C D
In a bandit cave, a blanket laid for two
G Em
If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea
C D G G Gmaj7
Oh, bandit queen, steal away to me
Em
Somewhere on a mountain by a starry water fountain
G G7
In an alcove hid by some trees
Em
Amidst a pile of treasure, reclining at her leisure
C D
My lady love sniffs at the breeze
C
And sitting up she adjusts her turban
G
And takes another swig from a bottle of bourbon
Am
And listening to the whistling of the train in station
D
Odds are it will never reach its destination
G Em
'Cause the bandit queen astride her steed will ride
C D G
Oh, let me be the one to lay within your thievin' arms tonight
G Gmaj7 Em C D D7
G Em
She's my bandit queen laying beneath the moon
C D
In a bandit cave, there's a blanket laid for two
G Em
If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea
C D G Gmaj7 Em
Oh, bandit queen, steal away to me
C D G
Oh, bandit queen, steal away to me
